I substituted a block of frozen chopped spinach for the fresh b/c that's what I had on hand (added it once the liquid came to a boil); and I don't think I added the salt & didn't realize it until I was cleaning up, so you might want to go lightly on it at first.

I used dill for the herb finish, but I think it would also be great with mint or parsley (or a combination.)

It was just me eating this and I had it as a main course, but there was enough for a second meal.
